Only 8 more pounds to go to reach my goal weight. 😁😁😁
 
When goal weight is reached I will have lost 69# 😳😳😳😳😳
 
Can’t weight, I mean wait to confirm weight loss at doctor’s appointment in a few weeks. 

WOW!

Delivering a Public Talk today, 2 inactive publishers (5 years of inactivity) responded to my invitation, and just confirmed that they are coming! Happy

Ok, after the problem at work, I had the good idea to tell Jehovah that, if the problem is solved in a certain way, I'd start Reg Pio again...

And Jehovah is apparently now solving it exactly like I asked... Oops !

Hahaha ! I hope it works... I will gladly fulfill this vow.

My back is, “out”. Which means I can hardly get out of bed, and, there is no bending over. At all. And, pain. 
Usually I know how it happened. Not this time. In service yesterday,, I was grateful to be put in a car with some bible studies. 
This is the type of pain that no sort of pain numbing pill will work. I am hooked up to a TENS machine. 
I got it because at the conventions, my back would hurt so bad, I wanted to cry. Again, pain pills will not work. 
So, me and my little machine will be good friends until this is over.
 (I always get scared that I’ve done something really bad to my back that will almost incapacitate myself.) So far...
Sorry for complaining.☹️

Layover at LGW (London Gatwick), waiting for my delayed connection flight to HEL (I am not swearing 🧐). My mom has been really ill and hospitalized for some weeks now so I had to get a last-minute flight (expensive!) out of LAX.

I saw (Instagram) a funny welcoming sign from Phoenix Conv. saying "We love you more then air-conditioning" LOL ...love it 

Boss falling into depression, his company is being shredded by the IRS... I haven't been paid for several months now... 
The risk for being "independent"... sob... Jehovah will provide.

Tonight bad news, one of our brother's got DF'D.  The influence of the air got him.  The brother was baptized on the same day and month I was along with several others.  Out of the 6 of us baptized, he and I were the only ones left in the truth. Then this happened. It really hurt my heart that his happened this evening.  I know if he repents, he'll be back! 

Very sad day for me today.
 
Before 8:30 am this morning my spiritual mom messaged me to call her.
 
I went to pick her up to bring her to the hospital where a couple brothers met us and they went with “mom” into the room.
 
Dad past away early this morning. He was in the hospital for a while, put in a nursing home for about 3 weeks or so. Came home about 3 weeks ago on Monday, Tuesday night he was taken by ambulance and ended up in ICU. never leaving that floor.
 
Started him on dialysis this week. Took 30 pounds of water out on Wednesday and another 40 on Thursday and told mom they wanted to take another 20 today...she wouldn’t sign the papers.
 
With 5th stage kidney disease, heart disease, and a host of other issues, dad’s no longer in pain. 
 
Dad’s in Jehovah’s memory. 
 
As a sister told me when my “real” mom passed away, “There’s no better place to be.”

“Aching feet and tired hands—
She tries the very best she can.
But there’s strength she can find
In that song that’s always on her mind”
🎶🕺🏼

I can't find any interesting game for my phone... I'd love to be able to create a JW/Paradise game for Android...

This morning I showed up for our meeting really early.  So I sat there in my car, listening to the Convention pre-session music.
 
Even though the brothers and sisters were singing in many different languages, I could understand every word they were saying, er, singing.  
 
I felt like I had been bestowed with the modern day gift of speaking in tongues.  
 
All due to being united in pure worship...right down to the same exact lyrics.  And all sung in the language of LOVE...unfailing love.

Our cong. has had 2 dear brothers to pass away in the past 3 weeks due to heart attacks... Please be careful in the heat! 

FYI Just in case anyone  was wondering. Putting both soft contact lenses in the same eye doesn't  give you super vision in that eye.

Hi Neil, how ya doing? Been thinking good thoughts about you. Again want to thank you for all the help you gave me and Grumpy. Hope this message finds you well. Vernalee

A Sister learned that she was going to be a mom, so she told Jehovah this:
"Jehovah, if this little one could love you, then I'll get to keep him forever!"  

just so ready for all this worldly mess to be done with, and for us to get on with our lives.
